Thanksgiving

It has been quite a while since I have posted, but I really had nothing to post. Not too much happened between Halloween and Thanksgiving, We did have our Primary program last Sunday and it went really well. Lizzy got up there and sang her heart out and when it was her turn to speak she was shy the first time and then got braver and louder each time after, until by the end she had to stand up there by herself as she pulled the microphone down to talk. Everyone got a good laugh out of her. All I can say is that it was absolutely the biggest stress relief when it was done. I honestly felt like I had a giant weight lifted off of me. That evening we drove up to Omaha because our plane left the next morning at 6:55 am. I had to get up at 4:30 as it was so I am glad that we drove up the night before. we flew into Oakland because it was over 100 dollars cheaper per ticket to do so, My mom was so nice to pick us up.

For Thanksgiving we went to Aunt Judy and Uncle Jim's house to eat, the food of course was so good, Jim smoked the turkey, it was amazing! I made all the pies and I would say that they were pretty darn good. The girls had so much fun playing at Judy's house, she has a ton of toys and things for kids to do so we didn't have to entertain them much. My brother Bryce and Mel and the boys came up from Arizona and it was so much fun to see them. Bryce always makes things more fun. Lizzy absolutely adores the boys. She and Jace had fun playing and everyday since then she has just followed them around. If we are driving somewhere and they are in the other car she will keep asking "Where are the boys? I want the boys." It is so sweet, because they are these big boys and she is this little girl, and they take care of her, they will hold her hand when we are walking in some place and make sure she is safe.

Nellie and Daddy, so cute

Lizzy and Jace playing, they actually had a lot of fun.

Nellie trying to get the kitty, she is obsessed with animals and just wants to squeeze them all.

Lizzy enjoyed(just a little) some of the candy that Judy's house is famous for
